Take care out there, y'all. For the first time in 28 years, I found myself alone at sea with a couple of tech issues that were increasingly problematic. Nerds in a Flash arrived late on a day that I was tightly scheduled and asked for considerably more than they had originally estimated (exactly the same job/problem I had described to them)... but redeemed themselves by cheerfully solving my problem and agreeing to the original estimate. Would I hire them again? You bet, but I recommend that you have them come in on a day that you have a flexible schedule, because your own time pressures are demonstrably unimportant to them.

My Surface 3 wasn't starting and from everything I found online it was unrecoverable so I ordered a…read morenew one. I called on Monday and let Michelle know that though my computer wouldn't start, I understood that the hard drive was still good and I needed to transfer the data to the new one. She was very nice and set me up with an appointment for Thursday with a 1 hour arrival window. As a business owner, I understand that because some problems take longer than expected, scheduling service calls isn't an exact science. The most important thing is communication. James ended up running a little late but he handled it perfectly. He called me with 10 minutes left in the window to apologize and let me know he would be a few minutes late, which he was (3 minutes). In my experience, if someone is 3 minutes late they consider that on time and they certainly wouldn't call and give a heads up. As far as the service call goes, not only did he get my new computer set up, he figured out what was wrong with the old one and got it running again. Ending up with 2 working computers never entered my mind as an option. James made sure that he took care of everything I needed and helped me with a few things I didn't know that I needed. It's been a while since I've had a set IT resource so it was very helpful to talk with James about the other services he could help me with in the future. I will definitely call Nerds and James the next time I need IT help.

That gave me confidence I was dealing with someone honest and knowledgeable -- no upselling, no guessing. From there, everything was easy. I don't have a car, and he worked with me to make the process simple instead of turning it into a hassle -- that alone was a huge plus. He replaced the drive and even charged less than what I found at Best Buy, which honestly surprised me. The end result? My computer is running like it should -- fast, smooth, and no more frustration. It's rare to find someone who's skilled, fair on pricing, and actually easy to work with. Jason checks all three.

Even went into my BIOS and fixed some fan settings that I wasn't even aware were off. He does most everything for a very affordable price aswell, had other businesses contacting me with $100 price tags just to talk to them to get quote for my issue. If you need someone to setup stuff because you don't know or or don't have the time I would highly recommend him. For the record aswell if anyone is still unsure, he was servicing a very expensive, custom-built 3D modeling/gaming PC, not a simple pre-built from Best Buy.

Unlike other places that just quoted an hourly price or a flat fee (as one would expect), Eric talked me through the appraisal, asking me for generally what was wrong and computer symptoms. When I brought it to the shop, he was able to fix it in a couple minutes (okay, so maybe the fault was mine that I couldn't figure out what was wrong on my own and fix it...) but I was absolutely delighted. Eric was earnest and helpful. I'll definitely be back if I have any future issues.

They transferred our data to this newer machine, installing Windows 11, which resulted in a common problem: only one of us (the original "administrator") could now open their documents. When we went back for help on this issue, the Repair Connection specialist washed his hands from it. He'd been paid already. Beyond that point he didn't seem to care. We ended up finding Frankenstein in North Austin, quite far from our home, but oh, such a difference in expertise and attitude! Problem solved, first trying to fix it remotely and failing, then taking old and new computer to Frankenstein. I do not intend to return to Computer Repair Connection. Maybe Frankenstein will open a branch in South Austin in the future. I would love to have that happen. Sara
